Who is smart enough to own guns then? Solely the government?

Terrible take in this context. It’s one thing for Manchin to vote a more conservative line being that he’s likely the only Democrat that will be elected in his state.

It's only terrible if the only purpose you see for the democratic and republican parties is to fully allign their votes with their party and against the others.

She should have been recalled for that stunt,

If her voters wanted to recall her, they could have.

it’s certainly not the performance her constituents put her in there for.

If you have a problem bring it up with the voters.

At least I admit it, look in the mirror homie. You're bitching about me responding to your responses hahahaha

but way to specialized. Almost nobody really needs them.

Every tool is specialized. How many different screws do they make that need different screw drivers?

And the fact that you can't empathize with any other lifestyle than your, likely big city, lifestyle is absurd. Do you not know people rely on hunting for food? For protection?

But knives? I use knives daily for food prep/cooking

What if a rural individual hunts every day?

And opening boxes

Guards his animals every day. You ever try to get a hungry coyote off your chickens?

kill someone

See right there, that's my point. You don't see it as a tool. You see it as a violent weapon that is only made to kill 'someone,' you're so limited in your world view that you can't even comprehend someone hunting for a deer to provide for their family. All you know is that you can buy some deer meet at stores.

You do know it’s possible to question gender without changing your name, right?

Yes, which is why I think it's weird that you try to draw this line that encourages teachers to hide that from parents.

. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say there are shitty, but not abusive enough to lose their kids, parents out there,

And you think government employees should determine that simply because of their intuition? The movement from objectivity to subjectivity at the whim of the government is tragic.

I do think there are kids out there who would rather ask questions of other adults in their lives.

Therapists. Religious leaders. Aunts. Uncles.

Why does it have to be the teachers? The education system is a failure - our spending on schools tops the world. Literally 30% more per full time student than our peer countries. Our test scores are constantly at the bottom of those countries.

Then we're being told that our schools are shitty because they're underfunded. Then they tell us the students will do better if the teachers can teach them about gender and sexual ideologies at young ages, and have private conversations with the teachers.

Nah, dog. If our schools showed that they could teach our children math, english and science with the vast sums of money we keep throwing at them, maybe I'd buy it. But not with how shitty they've shown the education system is.

Dang, you see this new article yesterday? https://archive.is/jnSIS

"The Biden administration formally halted the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s access to US funding, citing unanswered safety and security questions for the facility at the center of the Covid lab leak theory. "

Oh wait, biden is probably just a right win lunatic "conspiratard", huh?

I know exactly what a hypothetical situation is

Now you do. You're welcome.

Gaslighting by quoting the article on this post? LOL

Again, it’s gun nuts like you that make people like me say fuck the second.

HAHAHA I own my dads old little .22. I'm not a gun nut, just empathetic enough with people that have different lifestyles to know that tens of millions of americans provide food and protection for themselves with guns, and that someone using a tool incorrectly across the nation shouldn't make me hate and ban them.

What a nonsense, meaningless reply. This sounds like a response from someone who lacks critical thinking skills and doesn’t understand the difference between behavior and identity.

Parents are forced to send their kids to government agents at the threat of taking the kids away. The least they can do is being transparent with my kids behavior, if little jimmy wants everyone to call him Laquisha, that falls under behavior.

This makes you sound unhinged. Who is ‘they’ and when did ‘they’ tell you to shut up?

What's unhinged about it? My local school boards.

Yes, and that’s completely irrelevant to the discussion.

No it's not, teachers have been expected to let parents know what their kids are up to and how they're doing socially, emotionally and with their studies. The fact you are trying to have teachers keep these things from parents is more telling about you.

Parent teacher conferences don’t consist of the teacher listing the race, religion or ethnicity of the students I/my child hang out with, nor is there a specific mandate for them to do so.

You made up this scenario and are arguing against it. That's weird.

Are they? Or maybe they’re just minding their own business when it comes to matters that don’t involve education or risky/harmful behavior.

If a kid has cancer should the nurses not tell the parents? Is transitioning not a very hard emotionally and mentally situation to be in? pre-transition, the suicide rate attempt is over 40%, how would you feel if your kid attempted suicide and you couldn't help because the teacher kept it a secret?

Why would anyone in their right mind want to work with someone who refers to them as a “servant”

LOL, I say public servant, and the fact you try to pervert my argument and equate it with 'servant' is dishonest and disgusting. Every individual employed by the government is supposed to serve the tax payers.

You complain about ‘forced government institutions’ yet in the next breath demand they be the sole conduit into your child’s life.

I didn't complain it's a forced government institution, I said what it was. I don't demand I be the sole conduit, I demand that the teachers tell me what my kids are up to during their forced institutionalization. I know it may be odd that someone paying for the school, paying for the new gym, property taxes teachers salaries and their supplies might want to know how my kids are doing, but I think the governments job should always include transparency to those that they are serving.

What do any of these things have to do with a person determining their own identity just as every other autonomous human has done for millennia?

You said that kids have autonomy. 13 year olds should be able to buy cigarettes, booze, get tattoos, right? Is there a reason we don't allow them to?

Sounds like you just need to read up on some of the American criminal justice system before you comment on it!

You just linked to my comments, show me the comment were I "demand that the government force educators to invade children's privacy by spying on them"

I never had, nor never will say that, because I think teachers should stay out of their kids personal lives for the most part. I don't want any teacher spying exchanging secrets with kids.

You must not have read the article. Here ya go:

Kennedy later posted a video statement on Sunday, saying in part: "Nobody has suggested that these were deliberately engineered changes and I certainly don't believe that they were deliberately engineered," but calling it "kind of a proof of concept that you can develop bioweapons that will attack certain ethnicities."

Okay, so you don't know what a hypothetical question is.

"A hypothetical question is one based on supposition, not facts. They are typically used to elicit opinions and beliefs about imagined situations or conditions that don't exist."

HAHAHA verbatim, dog. All you did was prove you don't know what a hypothetical is.

COVID “targeting” certain ethnic groups in virtually the same breath as discussing bioweapons targeting certain ethnic groups. One thing directly related to the other.

He said 2 things:

1. viruses can be changed by humans
2. viruses can affect different minorities differently

In the article it even says "Kennedy later posted a video statement on Sunday, saying in part: "Nobody has suggested that these were deliberately engineered changes and I certainly don't believe that they were deliberately engineered," but calling it "kind of a proof of concept that you can develop bioweapons that will attack certain ethnicities."

is it a bad sound bite? Yeah, should he be more careful, yeah. But no, he didn't imply that it was a bioweapon created to target everyone but jews and chinese. He clarified after that he 'certainly' doesn't believe they were engineered.

People just want to latch on to bad sound bites bc his parties mad he's getting some traction against a senile 82 YO man.

It’s a ‘hypothetical’ you keep bringing up in relation to something that actually happened.

Clearly - the point is that guns are a tool used by tens of millions of americans to mainly provide food and protection for their families.

Not unlike knives.

Just because you don't use guns, doesn't mean they aren't useful or even pivotal in other peoples lives. I'm not a carpenter, but if there was someone getting killed with a hammer, I don't call for hammers to be banned. It's a tool used in other peoples livelihoods.

And I still never said anything about any bans. Were you going to acknowledge that?

You responded to me in a chain of comments about banning guns. If you didn't want to talk about it, why'd you respond to it?

He said viruses can impact different ethnicities differently.

You're making up that he said it was created as a bioweapon.

What makes you think he was talking about covid in the context of engineered bioweapons?

He said "there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact."

You provided one such paper that shows that there are differences in how covid impacted different communities. Whether that's due to obesity rates, socioeconomic status or healthcare access.

"Kennedy later posted a video statement on Sunday, saying in part: "Nobody has suggested that these were deliberately engineered changes and I certainly don't believe that they were deliberately engineered,"

Sounds like the virus infecting an individual falls under targeting.

You're the only one suggesting it was a bio weapon.
